My ex called me a slut/whore/bitch all the time and when I would finally get fed up with being constantly insulted he would tell me how overly sensitive and stupid I am and that he was just joking. I will never miss being called sausage fingers or my having my belly fat or "saggy tits" mocked. My husband has never insulted my appearance or called me a mean name, we have had a few big fights and he has never stooped so low to start calling me names. We stick to what the issue is and always come to a resolution and apologize to each other when we get angry. It's so nice.

What’s the most effective response to the “I was just joking” line? Obviously block + delete if it’s a beau on the phone, but what about a coworker or casual acquaintance trying to undermine you in a group setting?

There was a guy I had feelings for when I was in college. He once made a comment in a foreign language class, when the professor made us practicing making sentences about each other, that I was “stupid” and should “shop at the kid’s toy store” only for the professor to step in and tell him he was stupid and had to say three nice things about each woman in the class.

Sadly, he never learned his lesson, and I surely didn’t learn then about NVM.

I received a "send nudes" meme from a guy I've never been intimate with. Called him out & got the "I'm just joking!" bs reply. Couldn't remember the name of this meme at the time dammit! Blocked and deleted!

Hit the nail on it's head there. I usually translate people proudly stating that they're 'Sarcastic' as this.
